(FCC) and Safety Information
General
Warning
• To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose this product to rain or any type
of moisture.
Caution
• Do not open covers and do not attempt to repair the unit yourself. Refer
servicing to qualified personnel.
Power source
Warning
• The power source voltage of this unit is listed on the nameplate. Only plug the
unit into an outlet with the proper voltage.When you operate this equipment,
the outlet should be near the equipment and accessible.
• To ensure safe operation the AC cord supplied must be inserted into standard
three-prong AC outlet which is effectively grounded (earthed) through the
normal wiring.
• The fact that the equipment operates satisfactorily does not imply that the
power point is grounded(earthed) and that the installation is completely safe.
For your safety, if in any doubt about the effective grounding (earthing) of the
power point, consult a qualified electrician.
• If the plug cannot be inserted into the AC outlet, contact a licensed electrician
to replace the outlet with a properly grounded (earthed) one. Do not defeat the
purpose of the grounding (earthing) plug (ex. do not use a conversion plug).
Laser safety
Caution
• This printer utilizes a laser. Use of controls or adjustments or performance of
procedures other than those specified here may result in hazardous radiation
exposure.
For Your
Safety

ii General
Ozone release
Warning
• Make sure that the printer is installed in a well ventilated room so as not to
increase density of ozone in the air. Since ozone is heavier than air, it is
recommended that air at floor level be ventilated.
Moving the unit
The printer weighs approximately 47.9 kg {105.5 lb}. It must be handled by two
people.Turn the power off and remove the power cord when handling the unit.

• Extremely high or low temperature [temperature range: 10˚C to 32.5˚C (50˚F
to 90.5˚F)]
• Extremely high or low humidity (humidity range: 20% to 80% RH)
• Condensation due to rapid change of temperature
• Areas of poor ventilation
• Areas of high dust or chemical fume concentration (solvent etc.)
• Unstable or unlevel surfaces:
• Directly in front of air conditioning vents
Chapter 1:
Before
You Start

1
1-2 Before You Start
• Liquids near the equipment:
• Too much media/document which exceeds the limit mark on the guide of the
tray.
• Front/right/left doors opened while the printer is operating; it may cause a
media jam.
• Any toner other than genuine Mita toner. It may damage the printer.
CD-ROM
• To prevent accidental damage to the CD-ROMs
• Do not touch or write on the surface of the disc
• Do not leave the disc out of the protective case
• Do not leave the disc in direct sunlight or near heat sources
• Do not place heavy objects on the disc case or drop the case
Not genuine toner

1
1-3 Cautions
• To clean the disc, hold the disc by its edges and wipe it from the center to the
edges with a dry, soft cloth.
Static electricity damage
To prevent static electricity damage to any of the following components, touch a
grounded metal surface, such as the printer’s bare metal frame, prior to touching
the component.
• The interface connectors—parallel and optional network
• Electrical components, connectors inside the printer, any components on the
optional board (hard disk drive, RAM DIMMs, Ethernet network card, or
Token Ring network card)
• The connector pins on the optional 2nd cassette feeder for the printer
Interface cable
Always use a shielded interface cable. Use of an unshielded cable can result in
radio interference with data.
Waste disposal method
Waste material may be dumped or incinerated under conditions which meet all
federal, state, and local environmental regulations.

Color capabilities
ColorWise
™
CRDs (color rendering dictionaries) take full advantage of the colors
available on your printer. PostScript 3 RGB files are converted to the printer’s
CMYK color space during processing—optimizing them for rendering and
printing. CRDs available with the PostScript driver include:
• Photographic
• Presentation
• Transparency
Using the PostScript driver an image’s RGB data can be also converted to the color
space and gamut of the Ci1000 printer using RGB source profiles. Profiles
available include:
• EFIRGB
• sRGB (PC)
• Apple Standard
In addition, CMYK simulation settings can be used to simulate popular offset
printing press standards. Simulation settings include:
•SWOP
• Euroscale
• DIC
Color management
ColorWise VisualCal
™
allows experienced users to calibrate the Ci1000 for
excellent color output—eliminating out-of-calibration color most printers
experience over time.
ColorWise Color Adjustment provides controls for globally modifying toner
density and brightness.
ColorWise Business Color specifies the application of toner using a diffusion
dither pattern, which is ideal for color fills and blends commonly found in charts
and graphs used in business applications.
